Parishville man faces drug, animal-cruelty charges

STOCKHOLM  A Parishville man faces animal-cruelty and drug charges following investigation into allegations that he didnt properly care for his dog, St. Lawrence County sheriffs deputies said Friday.

Kevin D. Campbell, 33, allegedly failed to provide adequate food, water and shelter for the animal over a three-day period.

Following his arrest, Mr. Campbell was found to be in possession of five Adderall pills, deputies said. The drug is a narcotic stimulant often prescribed for attention deficit disorder.

Mr. Campbell was charged with animal cruelty, a class A misdemeanor, and seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a class A misdemeanor.

He was arraigned separately on the charges in Parishville Town Court and Stockholm Town Court, and sent to St. Lawrence County jail, Canton, in lieu of a combined $1,500 bail or $2,000 bond. Further charges are pending, deputies said.
